Upcoming Shows

Exhibition run: March 19, 2026 – May 13, 2026

The exhibit explores the dynamic intersection between artistic expression and the visual language of mass production. Featuring works including but not limited to pop art, comic books, and manga-style, this exhibition examines how artists have embraced, and critiqued consumer culture through bold imagery, commercial aesthetics, and accessible storytelling.

By blurring the lines between high art and popular media, these genres challenge traditional hierarchies in the art world, reflecting the influences of advertising, entertainment, and everyday life on contemporary visual culture.

ARTalk April 16 by Matt Silady, Director of academic and faculty development at California College of the Arts.

Exhibition run: May 21, 2026–July 8,2026

These photographs will be inspired by the broadest sense of what home means to each artist. Images might depict a physical space, but equally, will fully embrace representations of internal narratives about home or portrayals of sanctuary.

Photographs could profile identity, a people, connections to homeland or a sense of belonging. Submissions might also reflect cherished memories of childhood—pets, toys, recollections of family, laughter and love.

The Gallery will present a collective window into their private “homes” . . . shared visions of where selected photographers most feel or felt seen.

Artists employ techniques to create visual elements that are uniquely theirs. Brushstrokes on canvas, dashes in ink or graphite, or incised lines – all just strokes that are theirs.

These shapes and patterns can not only create rhythm, but lines can drive the viewer’s eye. While some of the dabs of paint, brush-marks, or patterning are conscious, much mark-making is accidental or unconscious. Bring on your strokes.

ARTalk October 1 date pending by Susan Goetz Zwirn, painter and professor of art.

Exhibition run: Nov. 19, 2026 – Jan. 13, 2027

Color is the first thing you notice about an art work. But, as a critical formal element used in art making, artists’ choices for hues and saturations are signifiers. This exhibit is about how artists employ color, their relationship to it and how these palette choices impact the viewer.
